Ok so i'm hopefully gearing up for my VS soon and I was wondering, do you have to take out all your piercings for surgery? I have both nipples done and i'm afraid that since they haven't been pierced that long, it will be a problem if I have to take them out.

Yes u do but ask ur doctor if u can put them right back in after surgery most doctor don't mind you putting them back in right after

I was told everything goes. My tragus is old so there wasn't an issue with leaving it open. I had a vc filter put in the day before. I planned to go to the piercers to have my tragus taken out when I left the hospital, but they wouldn't even do the filter with the tragus still in. A nurse removed it for me. She did a good job, except the hoop got bent. When I went to the piercers to get the tragus put back in a month later I ended up buying new jewelry.

I was able to leave mine in and tape over them. Just 3 lobe piercings both sides, and an industrial on the right which I put hoops in so nothing would snag the ends.

Shoot I hope I don't have to take out my ???? ring LOL. It hasn't been put in a year ????

That one you might...it would be up to the anesthesiologist and nurses. But it should go back in when you wake up easily enough

Oh no!! I didn't even think of having to take out my piercings!! I'll have to go get my septum piercing out because its hard for me to get it out myself.

Ugh! I'll have to go to the piercing place to get the one in my ear out then I guess cuz I can't get it out on my own.

Yes, they all have to be removed. I had to take off my engagement ring. Good thing I took all my piercing out a few years ago lol
